The House Is Open

Fisher Center
5:00 pm – 10:00 pm EST/GMT-5
5:00 pm – 10:00 pm EST/GMT-5
A pop-up exhibition of installation and performance
The borders between the visual and performing arts are in flux. Many contemporary artists are developing hybrid practices that transcend conventional categories of theater, dance, performance, visual art, installation, music, and film. Meanwhile, museums and art galleries are once again embracing live performance, with major institutions in the United States and around the world presenting the work of choreographers and theater artists in galleries that have traditionally displayed painting, photography, and sculpture.
The House Is Open is an inquisitive and playful pop-up exhibition that invites you to experience the Fisher Center in an entirely new way. For four extraordinary days, the Fisher Center will be transformed into a temporary museum, hosting the work of major artists who are working at the fast-changing intersection of the performing and visual arts. With a single admission ticket, you can discover and interact with a varied range of installation/performances in parts of the building not normally open to the public. You’ll be free to wander through hidden areas of the Fisher Center as if you were in a gallery—and return as many times as you like over the weekend. A pop-up café and bookstore complete the experience. The house will truly be open.
